DyeLoom Kota Silk Jacquard Saree Blue

What motifs are woven into the DyeLoom saree?

Small gold-toned buti are placed in neat, spaced-out rows across the body, so the pattern stays light and does not crowd the fabric. They catch the light as you move, which gives the saree a quiet shimmer without looking heavily worked.

What does the pallu look like?

The pallu carries bands of gold stripes, which make it the dressiest part of the saree, and it ends in tassels. The edges are finished with a narrow gold stripe rather than a broad border, keeping the overall look light.

What colour blouse goes with a pale aqua saree?

A gold or silver blouse keeps it festive and picks up the buti. For daytime, a white or ivory blouse looks fresh, and a deep teal or navy blouse adds contrast for a sharper look at work.

How long is the saree, and is the blouse included?

The saree measures 6.3 to 6.4 metres including the blouse piece, which comes attached. Your tailor can cut it off and stitch it to your measurements before you wear the saree.

Is it comfortable in hot weather?

Yes. Kota silk is lightweight and breathable, which is why it is a favourite in warm climates. It sits light on the shoulder and lets air through, so it stays comfortable through a long summer day.

What care does it need?

Dry cleaning is preferred. A gentle hand wash with mild detergent also works; wash it separately, since it is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade. Store it folded in a cotton or muslin cloth, away from moisture and sunlight.
